Chapter 4 Don't stare at me! It'll... excite you.
"Kei has already gone to the cafeteria," Shirogane Miyuki thought, watching his sister's retreating figure with a wry smile.
"Uchiha, I'm really no match for my sister, am I?"
"Which aspect are you referring to? Although your sister seems very likable, has a mature personality, and knows how to care for her family..."
Noticing that someone's head was getting lower and lower, Uchiha Ryo patted Shirogane Miyuki on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, you can completely change yourself and gradually become a role model for your younger sister."
Miyuki Shirogane suddenly looked up. "What should I do?!"
"Well, since your sister is worried that you won't make any friends and will be eating bread alone in a corner, why don't you join a club?"
Clubs...
Although it was only the first day of school, Shirogane Miyuki had already gained a basic understanding of the Shuchiin Academy environment.
Here, there's not just a pyramid of the bourgeoisie, but also a pyramid of the club activity class! As long as you join a sports club, regardless of your ability, you're generally quite popular.
In addition, the literature category is relatively ordinary, and at the very bottom are otaku departments like the manga club.
Shirogane Miyuki's expression changed. "I'm not very good at sports."
Uchiha Ryo expressed doubt. "Just a little bit?"
"Ah, just a little bit, hahaha!"
Uchiha Ryo stood up. "Alright then, let's go check out the cultural clubs this afternoon."
.....
With different purposes in mind, the two left the playground and returned to their classrooms one after the other.
Miyuki Shirogane wants to become outstanding, so that at least he won't have to worry his younger sister.
Uchiha Ryo wants to get closer to his target, so a club is a good option. Besides, didn't Amakusa-senpai already tell him about her club?
After the last class in the afternoon, Uchiha Ryo asked the homeroom teacher for two club application forms, and then took the somewhat nervous Shirogane Miyuki to the club building.
Shuchiin Academy's high school doesn't have a large number of students, but its campus is truly enormous. Leaving aside the neighboring middle and elementary schools, the high school alone exceeded Uchiha Ryo's concept of a typical school.
"Classical Literature Club... Uchiha, you're actually interested in classical literature?"
"Maybe they just want a relaxing place. Let's go in."
Opening the door, the classroom was quiet. One side had a lot of space occupied by cabinets for experimental equipment, and some old posters were pasted on the wall, while the bookshelves on the other side were piled with unread books.
Is this the club activity room? Uchiha felt that this place was more like a warehouse where old books were stored.
The only aesthetically pleasing part of the classroom was the girl sitting directly in front of it.
The window directly in front of her was half-open, and the girl was quietly reading a book in the sunlight and gentle breeze. The scene before her was like a beautiful painting, and the girl slightly raised her head when she noticed someone coming in.
Uchiha Ryo stared, slightly lost in thought. Although Amakusa Shinobu was not large in any way, even smaller than Shirogane Kei from the junior high school, her temperament surpassed that of the Ice Princess Kaguya, possessing a unique beauty.
"Don't stare at me like that, it'll get...excited."
Amakusa Shino's words ruined this beautiful painting. Uchiha Ryo sighed and pulled Shirogane Miyuki behind him into the room.
"We'd like to join the Classical Literature Club. By the way, are you the only one here?"
Amakusa Shino took the application form and stamped it without saying a word.
"Yes, right now the Classics Literature Club only has me, and it's facing the crisis of being disbanded, hehe~"
Shirogane Miyuki glanced at Amakusa Shinobu and the nearly abandoned club, feeling utterly betrayed by the Uchiha clan. This wasn't about joining a club to improve oneself; it was just about filling quotas!
Amakusa Shino cleared her throat. "Relax, relax, I've already spoken to the student council president. As long as we have four people, the club can survive!"
Uchiha Ryo glanced at the other two. "So, we have a fourth person?"
Amakusa Shino averted her gaze from Uchiha Ryo, "It...it will happen!"
The door was pushed open again, and Amakusa Shinobu instantly perked up, even giving Uchiha Ryo a look that said, "Look at that."
"Excuse me, is this the Classics Club? Oh, it's Uchiha-san and Shirogane-san, are you members here too?"
Uchiha Ryo turned his head. The girl in front of him was wearing a traditional black dress from the Shuchiin Academy. Her long, black hair was draped over her shoulders, but unlike Amakusa Shino's waterfall-like straight hair, the girl's hair was slightly fluffy.
She was slightly petite, seemingly less than 1.6 meters tall, but what Uchiha Ryo noticed at first glance were her purple eyes.
There's no denying that those big eyes are beautiful; looking at them for too long gives you the feeling of being drawn in.

Miyuki Shirogane spoke first, "May I ask who you are...?"
"Don't you remember me, Shirogane? I've already had classes all day."
On the first day of school, who can remember everyone in the class, especially outsiders like them?
"You are... Chitanda-san?"
Uchiha Ryo suddenly remembered. It seemed that this two-dimensional world was completely different from what he remembered. Even Chitanda had appeared in Shuchiin.
Chitanda nodded emphatically.
"Yes, I'm Chitanda Eru. Hello everyone, I'm here to join the Classic Literature Club!"
Amakusa Shino stood up, bypassed Uchiha and Shirogane, and came to Chitanda.
"Let's have the friendly conversation with classmates during the day. Chitanda-san wants to join the Classics Club, right?"
"Yes!"
"Alright, everyone, please take a seat." Amakusa Shino returned to the main seat and pointed to the seat next to him.
"Uchiha Ryo, you'll be my vice-captain. Strive to be my right-hand man, and do your best."
"Huh?"
After carefully putting away the three membership application forms, Amakusa Shino stretched and looked at the three members with boredom.
"What should we do next? Vice Minister, please come up with a plan quickly!"
Uchiha Ryo looked at Amakusa Shino speechlessly, "First of all, I just joined the club today, and secondly, you are the club president, so you are the one who decides what to do."
Amakusa Shino pouted. "Tch, how boring... Let's chat then. What clubs did you guys join before, and why did you come to the Classic Literature Club?"
Chitanda Eru raised her hand, showing that she was indeed a lively girl.
"I didn't join any clubs in junior high. As for high school, my uncle was a student at Shuchiin Academy and also joined the Classics Club!"
Amakusa Shino nodded. "Yes, we came because it's a place where our elders used to live. And what about the vice-captain?"
Uchiha Ryo rolled her eyes, but since she could raise favorability with all three members of the club, she might as well chat with them.
"I was involved in both soccer and basketball in junior high school, and the clubs were all vying for me."
Amakusa Shino rested her chin on her hand and said, "Oh—"
Chitanda looked at Amakusa with a puzzled expression. "Is there a problem?"
Amakusa Shino shook her head. "After all, he's a boy. It's normal for Uchiha-kun to like playing ball."
"Why do boys like playing ball?" Chitanda Eru stared wide-eyed, her purple pupils seemingly gleaming.
Uchiha Ryo raised his hand. "That's it for this question. Now it's Shirogane's turn!"
Chitanda shook her head and looked seriously at Amakusa Shinobu. "Why do boys like playing ball so much? I'm really curious!"
